A man tell his friends,
“This is the cleanest beach in England.” Blackpool South is proudly flying a Blue Flag.
He asks me to take a phone-photo with Blackpool Tower in the background.
“He’s a foreigner,” and points to his mate.
“Where from?”
“Loughborough.”
That’s foreign – it’s the Midlands!

It’s too windy for the Big One to snake it’s course, but the big bungee ride on South Pier is not afraid of the wind. It’s in full flight and my tum flips a turn just watching.

White horses cavort on the sea. Gulls effortlessly ride the gusts. Kiteboarders show off their prowess.
